Wow, that there's a remarkable resemblance to real fruit shapes in a braided bowl, complete with paring knife, but looks completely covered with rhizopus from what I can tell, Hope someone has a sense of humor. I could see it sitting on the mantle of an outdoor fireplace dusted with snow and holding water and birdseed as part of a sparrow winter haven.

This is a rustic pottery fruit bowl. Most probably Mexican in origin, have seen many pieces with the green rustic tint, own a few pieces myself, though I would have never thought of producing FRUIT in this fashion. Better left for an outdoor patio table or an outdoor kitchen, where it could fade with the elements.

Understandably, not to everyone's taste, but beauty is i the eye of the beholder.

Otherwise, in the trash it goes. All the comments so far suggested putting it outdoors or accidentally breaking it, but why bother? It'd be in the trash the same day I received it if I can't figure out the store it came from.

At the risk of ridicule... I kinda like it. It's not something I'd put on my dining room table of course, but I think it's kind of interesting. I *would* probably clean it up though, assuming it's not supposed to be fake-weatherized. Maybe a conversation piece for a garden table?
